10/17: Friday Faves
-Livi’s Harvard shirt.
She can be anything she wants to be when she grows up… after going to Harvard. (Kidding! Of course, all ll I want for lovebug is a happy and healthy life.)
-Pumpkin seeds!
(It’s all about the stem.)
I made some pumpkin puree last night -if you’re looking for fun pumpkin ideas, check out this post– and had to roast the seeds. They were perfect with some olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic and lime juice. The key to making awesome roasted pumpkin seeds: don’t wash the pulp off.
–Things happy people do differently.
-A 2-mile pain-free run.
I tested the waters yesterday by doing a quick and easy 2-miler, and thankfully my knee behaved. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to complete this week’s long run with my running group.
-Dinner date with my lovely friend Sasha
and a fun lulu event with friends.
They had an after hours R&D event, and it was a blast. Ashley met up with us, and we loved talking about the new products while doing a little shopping.
–Heavy truths. This shocked me in the best way possible… definitely worth a watch.
–5 mistakes coffee drinkers make.
-Selling our formal living room furniture and rug on Craisglist. We bought some new pieces to replace the old ones, but after our Craigslist sale, still came out ahead! Boom.
I’m excited to give the room and new look… before we move. Haha.
–High protein breakfast ideas.
-Friday. I vote for more Fridays, or at least an effort to bring a little bit of that “Friday spirit” into the rest of the week. 😉

Off to enjoy it with Livi!
Have a wonderful day <3

Love pumpkin seeds, make them every year after we carve the pumpkins. I never new not to wash them, will try that this year.
A pumpkin must have a good, green stem 🙂
I can’t wait to roast my pumpkin seeds from our pumpkin. Probably my favorite part about Halloween.
And I adore Olivia’s little Harvard shirt, that’s adorable.
Have a great day with Livi and enjoy the weekend!
Great way to end the week and start off the weekend!
I second the vote for more fridays!! Have a great weekend, girl!
That heavy truths video is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Friday <3
Happy Friday!!
I love selling things on craiglist. People bring you money and haul away your junk/unwanted thigns…what’s not to love 🙂 Can’t wait to see the new furniture!
Great links!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Friday!
I love pumpkin seeds! I bought a few small pumpkins last weekend and tomorrow on plan on making puree and roasting the seeds. Can’t wait!
Ohhh pumpkin seeds. My absolute favourite thing, I eat them all year long haha
Love Fridays!! Livi’s t-shirt is pretty adorable. I haven’t made roasted pumpkin seeds in years – maybe it’s time to try again this year. I definitely miss how good they are fresh. Hurray for a pain-free 2 mile run. I have a feeling you’ll do awesome in your half marathon coming up.
Have a great weekend! I started my weekend off by getting sick so hopefully it gets better 🙂
Yay pumpkin seeds are my favorite! I’m so excited Tucson finally got a Lululemon but La Encantada is a little far for me….I’ve been there twice so far though!
Yay for pain free running! Good luck on your long run.
Btw, that high protein breakfast picture looks amazing!
Have an amazing weekend!
Have a great weekend! Still need a pumpkin for this year … running out of time!
Love pumpkin seeds! They’re one of the best ways to cope with Halloween being over (and sugar withdrawal!)
Pumpkins are definitely all about the stem! I came across one with a little swirl on the end that totally stole my heart. Nothing like an impulse pumpkin buy, right? 😉
Enjoy your Friday!
It’s funny, i’ve always joked about my daughter going to Harvard (and she is 6 now!)… I still do have high hopes – just not sure how we’d pay for it! But i would certainly find a way if she got accepted Lol!! Enjoy your Friday – Love your blog 🙂
When my brother and I were kids, my mom would always roast the seeds of the pumpkins we carved! It was one of our favorite parts of the whole ritual. We’d eat them straight from the oven. So good!
Livi’s shirt is too cute! Thank GOODNESS for Fridays!! Woo! I’ve been needing weekend 🙂
your friday faves post always makes me so happy and excited for the weekend. 🙂 hope you & your family have a great one! xo
Excellent job on the furniture switch!
That shirt is adorable. Yay for Fridays and the weekend!
I don’t even dare to say how many pumpkins are hoarded in my homes currently. I love them roasted, and have them with a little ‘healthy chocholatesauce’ for dessert!
Protein Breakfast looks delicious!
The poem the girl wrote really hit me. I consider myself strong, self-sufficient, and a proud feminist, yet I start my questions with apologies. I have no idea how I never realized that before!
super powerful stuff
you should encourage her to go to Wellesley College instead 😉 Best four years of my life.
or ARIZONA 🙂 heh heh
I’ve been traveling and haven’t caught up in a couple days – have you announced the move yet? I know you were saying that you’d find out “any day now” and that was about a week-ish ago!? I’m dying to find out where you guys will be moving!!!
we have an idea but will know for sure next thursday!
YOUR PIN!!!!! ARE YOU PREGNANT
NO! haha! i repin things and read the captions afterwards sometimes hahahaha. not preg! (even though the baby fever is real right now)

Holy cow is that video amazing!

I hope you have an amazing weekend! I just wanted to say that I’ve been reading your blog for about a year now and I’m a huge fan! I really love all of the workouts, shape-ups, and advice you post and I am actually a freshman at the University of Arizona this year. 🙂

Love the article…thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend 🙂
Love these posts! I love Craigslist and became such a huge seller and buyer for many years! The first thing I do when I move to a new country is browse craigslist that is actually how I found our apartment out here in Bangkok hope you have a great weekend love and Shine Courtstar
As a Harvard grad, of course I love the shirt :). I got one for my niece, in fact! But I’m most glad that your real goal is for her to be happy and healthy – SO many hundreds of times more important than college choice! I’m glad for your pain-free run, and hope you have a wonderful weekend!
